HOUSTON, July 24 (Reuters) - Anadarko Petroleum Corp was preparing to return workers to the Neptune oil platform and other Gulf of Mexico facilities on Saturday, a company spokesman said.
Anadarko shut Neptune and evacuated staff due to the threat from Tropical Depression Bonnie, which has weakened significantly in the past 24 hours.
Anadarko is the largest independent holder of oil and natural gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico.
